quoting formats - for everyone to read
by Philip S Tellis 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

I'm bringing up this issue again because I see a trend here. What exactly do different quoting methods achieve? [quoting is the process of including the original message in your reply with some form of "quote" character, like > for example marking the text as quoted, and a reply lead in like "On someday, someone said:"] When replying to a mail, one has several options, viz. - don't quote the original - quote the original with the reply at the top - quote the original with the reply at the bottom - quote the original with the reply interleaved with the original we shall call these "unquoted", "top posted", "bottom posted" and "interleave posted" respectively. Let's look at the effect each of these has on persons entering late into the conversational thread, casual readers, and those who browse through the mailing list archives, and search engine to find results. * Unquoted replies This definitely is the most space efficient in that it includes 0 unoriginal bytes. On the downside however, there is also a very high percentage loss of context (100% if the original mail had a stupid subject line like "Help me!"). What this means is that anyone entering the conversational thread late - in this case even one mail into the conversation, has very little idea of what's going on. Answers are no use without the right questions to go with them. Mailers can aid in creating context for the user through threading based on the In-Reply-To mail header. The problem with this is that it requires that anyone who wants to read the thread should have all messages in the thread in his mailbox. People joining in late will not have all messages, they will only have the latest one. It should be clear that, unless the subject line is all the context that's required, unquoted replies are very rarely a good idea. * Top posted replies It is common practice, and, in many cases, a good idea, to top post when replying to one-to-one personal or business mails. In these cases, the conversation is between two persons, and both have complete knowledge of all mails that have been exchanged between them. In such a scenario, unquoted replies would be a good option. The average business/personal email user, however, receives a large quantity of email every day, and it may not always be possible to keep track of all conversational threads. Including context at the bottom for reference is therefore necessary. This works only with one-to-one mails however. The moment we move to a mailing list/large group of recipients, this becomes infeasible. It has been noticed that everyone who quotes the original below their reply quotes it in entirety. After having been through three levels of top posting, the size of the mail increases heavily with less than 20% original content (original content is that content created by the current composer). Furthermore, the mail also gets cluttered with several long signatures which add no information to the thread. It seems that when the original is below the reply, care is not taken to check the nature of the content quoted. A second problem with top posting occurs when people join the thread late. Even though context is included in the mail, it is included in reverse order, which means that the mail needs to be read from the bottom up. This is not normal, since most people read from the top down. As a result, one needs to store context in ones mind while reading downwards. Some of the worst cases of top posting are when people reply to a very long thread with a one line or even a one word answer, eg, "Thank you", "Yes, me too", etc. Most people wouldn't delete the entire thread from below simply because they do not know how long it is - it would be completely hidden below the bottom boundary of their viewing area (window). * Bottom posted replies Replies posted completely at the bottom are only useful when the original mail is only a few lines long. Anything longer than that, and the reply ends up going below the initially visible area of the screen - for normal 80x25 screens/windows, requiring the user to scroll before he can read the reply. The problem is further compounded when signatures are included in the quoted text. At times it isn't clear whether a reply to the mail exists, or whether the mail was simply forwarded completely quoted. As with top posting, one liner replies are very hard to find at the bottom of a long (>15 lines) message. A variation of this form of quoting is where the reply is included below the message, while all signatures are left below the reply. This serves the added purpose of increasing the cruft at the bottom of the thread. * Interleave posted replies In this case, replies are interleaved with the original message, so for instance, a message that contains three points, would have the reply split into three portions, each included immediately after the relevant point. In this case, the person replying must take the effort to separate out points, deleting irrelevant lines, and in some cases summarising ideas. It is perhaps for this reason that most people choose not to employ this method. On the plus side, anyone joining the thread late, or reading a single message on the mailing list archives will have the entire thread in front of him, with each question answered immediately below. Trimming of content helps keep the signal to noise ratio (S/N) high. Interleaving is most useful when used in conjunction with trimming of content and summarisation. The variation found with bottom posted replies is also found with interleaved replies, and reduces the S/N ratio somewhat. * Closing remarks This article isn't meant to tell people what quoting style they should use, but merely to state the pros and cons (according to me at least) of each method. You may choose for yourself. I've tried to cover all points that have been brought up in the past. If I've missed anything out, feel free to add to this. I have not, however, gone deeply into the details, but the reader may refer to the list of links later on in this message. Also note that this is *not* a poll. I am not soliciting comments on which quoting style is better. * Further reading http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/brox.html to the point http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/gey_stv0.htm excuse the background colour http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/gey_chr0.htm top posting and blind users (and yes, excuse the background colour) http://mailformat.dan.info/quoting/top-posting.html talks about top posting http://mailformat.dan.info/quoting/bottom-posting.html and bottom posting http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html perhaps a little fanatical, but a few good points Also check google for "quoting mail and news"

Hi, I am new to the group and this is my first post. I have written a serial program..that communicates with a modbus device on the modbus protocol. this code is at the backend of a CGI script. I would like to block the serial port, whenever every fork of the scrip is using it. in short i wud like to serialize the requests on the serial port. i read abt the file-lock, but i am not sure if that will put the process that cud not get the port to sleep until it is free. Is there some way of doing this with the help of any system calls, or some parameters to open (which wud block) the device file? Any help will be appreciated. thanks a lot Manasi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or Later..

Hello, You can try one thing.First use dd command in linux and create a backup of your current MBR on a floppy/CD,atleast it allows you to boot into some OSs if not all.Put that backup(which should be a single file of 512 bytes) on hda1,so that you can use it with your boot.ini file later. Then you can boot into DOS using a startup floppy or CD and revert the MBR using 'fdisk /mbr'.I think this will bring back the contents of the MBR (most probably the NTLDR) which were there before GRUB overwrote ur MBR.Then you will be able to boot into XP,2K,98 as before.After getting NTLDR alright,then just add an entry to your boot.ini with the backup file as the target..If it works well then you'll be able to go into GRUB thru the Windows boot menu. *The crucial thing is to use the dd command neatly. I think it will be 'dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/mnt/win_c/backup.mbr bs=512 count=1' assuming that hda1 is mounted as win_c Get it verified.* Hope this helps.

Hi, >> The boot loader for all these partitions would have been in the >> master boot record, which was overwritten when you installed grub. >> I don't think there's an easy solution for this. The best would be >> to boot linux through the Win 2000 boot loader. > How do i do that,what addition do i have to make in windows 2000 > boot loader and how do i make it default bootloader. > Do i have to uninstall grub. As Philip suggests, I the most sensible thing would be to use the Win2K boot loader. Here's the general way you can rescue your setup. 1) First of all boot into each Linux distro and install its boot loader to the first sector of its own partition. i.e. boot into debian and install grub/lilo to the boot sector of /dev/hda8 and similarly for RH9 to /dev/hda9. I use LILO myself so I can't give you instructions for grub - use the manual. Make a boot floppy for each on the safe side as well. 2) After both the boot loaders for the Linux distros are installed, while still in Linux, copy the first sector of each to a file like so: dd if=/dev/hda8 of=woody.img bs=512,count=1 dd if=/dev/hda9 of=rh9.img bs=512,count=1 and then move these two *.img files to C: 3) Now boot off the Win2K/XP install CD and go to the recovery mode console. Here you can log in as administrator and get a limited shell. Use the commands fixmbr (& fixboot if necessary). This will overwrite grub in the MBR with the Win2K boot loader and automatically make entries for Win98, Win2K & WinXP. 4) Now you should be able to boot into any of the versions of Windows and edit the C:\BOOT.INI file to add entries for Linux like so: C:\RH9.IMG="Linux RedHat 9.0" C:\WOODY.IMG="Linux Debian Woody" (note that the file is hidden/system etc. so unhide it first) That's it - all 5 OSs should now boot ok. If you don't really know what you are doing, a mistake can be dangerous - you may then need to over-install Windows. So be careful.... Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

Hi , I have 3 file system. / , /usr and /var. I'm trying to backup them using tar command like this : find / -xdev -exec tar cvf root.tar {} \; According to above commond , since i have mentioned '-xdev' for find, find should list files and dir related to '/' file system only.

Help me out Sendmail Guru's
by Paresh N Patel 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi All: I am working on securing sendmail server and facing some problem. Below are more details about my server setup and configuration. I am using Red Hat Linux distro with sendmail version 8.12.10. On sendmail server, I had turn on LOGIN and PLAIN authentication mechanism, so that people who are using outlook express or Mozilla can successfully able to authenticate and able to send mail using my sendmail SMTP. I am having no problem at all with sendmail everything is working fine. My users are able to successfully authenticate and send and receive mail using my SMTP / POP3. Now, I have two users named Jack and Jill Jack has configured his outlook express with his profile and email id as jack(a)mydomain.com. While specifying SMTP server he has selected option "My Server requires Authentication " Now he creates a mail and tries to send it. He is prompted to specify user id and password for authenticating at my SMTP server. He puts his userid - jack and his password - ****. And mail is successfully delivered. The restriction I want to put in sendmail is as below. ===================================== Jack creates another mail and tries to send it. Again he is prompted to specify user id and password for authenticating at my SMTP server. Now this time he puts jill's userid and jill's password- ****. The SMTP server authenticates and accepts mail delivery. I don't want to allow jack(a)mydomain.com user to use authentication credential of any other user and able to delivery mail. I must check that if the username, which is being authenticated, is jack then the email address must contain jacks (ie jack(a)mydomain.com). Else don't accept mail delivery. ================== when I opened sendmail.cf I found something like this. But failed to manage what I want to do. ###################################################################### ### trust_auth: is user trusted to authenticate as someone else? ### Parameters: ### $1: AUTH= parameter from MAIL command ###################################################################### SLocal_trust_auth Strust_auth R$* $: $&{auth_type} $| $1 # required by RFC 2554 section 4.

Hi, > But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) > with the virtual Linux machine..... Try the following: Create your virtual machine with host-only networking. Use ipconfig on Windows to check the IP address that vmware has automatically assigned to VMNet1 - say it's 192.168.11.1. When setting up the Linux box make sure you assign the network card a static IP on the same subnet - say 192.168.11.10 and make sure the subnet is set to 255.255.255.0. (I presume the problem you were having was due to this - i.e. mismatching subnets) That's all there is to it - at least it works for me :-) I also tend to put the virtual machine name & IP into my \WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to allow me to use it by name.

Installing linux on DELL Inspiron 1100 Laptop

Hi everyone I am Salil, presently in Philadelphia but originally from Mumbai. I am a complete newbie to Linux. I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop 1100 with windows XP as the OS. I wish to install Linux on it but keep XP. I do not have a floopy drive on my computer. Is it possible to install Linux without having to uninstall XP? What is the best way to proceed? The reason I don't want to uninstall XP is that certain hardware (Wireless LAN Adapter - TrueMobile 1300 802.11g made by Broadcomm) and power management features are not supported on Linux platform. Some wireless LAN card driver is out there but it is commercial and expensive. Can someone help ? Thank you. Regards, Salil.

Networking in VMware....
by suhas prabhu 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Dear Friends, Last week I tried the VMware Workstation 4 software on Windows XP ( Appologies to all Microsoft Haters...). I created a virtual machine with a network adapter and loaded RedHat Linux 9 on it. But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) with the virtual Linux machine. I tried Bridge Networking and also Host-Only Networking Options but Nothing seems to work. The linuxVirtual Machine configures the NIC perfectly. I gave it a static IP address which works but with DHCP it does not get any IP address ( No link present....). Also with static IP address it does not ping to my Host PC. I read the VMware manual but found no detailed explaination of the networking Part. I also have VMware WS 4 for Linux/UNIX Host but it does not install correctly on RedHat Linux 9, maybe the installer package is corrupt... It would be nice if someone can give me any pointers or details of how exactly networking is configured in VMware WS 4 between a virtual machine and a physical machine. Thanking in advance, Regards, Suhas Yahoo! India Insurance Special: Be informed on the best policies, services, tools and more.

But we browse the network neighbourhood and double click on the Samba it is accepting the login name & password. What I need is that at startup client is authenticated by the Samba server itself. b) Samba server networks runs only as WORKGROUP and not like DOMAIN Can anybody guide me to FAQ or Tutorial or some alternative where I could nearly replicate my existing Win2000 server so I can dump it as soon as possible.

But when I searched on net, I found to linux users groups - 1) Mumbai_GNULinux(a)yahoogroups.com , 2) linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in. Is there any different between the above two groups? I subscribed to both the mailing lists and has been reading all the mails send by other members. The Mumbai Gnu Linux group has got around 200 members(yahoo says so) but I am not sure how many of them are really active. I am unaware of the number of members in ILUG mumbai. Anyway their site http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/ is completely unmaintained and not updated frequently. The bottom line here is that - the linux users of mumbai are not organised(Correct me if I am wrong). I couldn't understand what's the need for two different groups for members having the same interest. Can't both the groups merge and become one big, strong, active group? UNITY IS STRENGTH. ALWAYS! I would request all the members of both the groups to express their opinion about this. I am sure that we can do a lot more things together then we are doing right now, and in a much better way. What I have written in this mail is my personal opinion. If what I have written here is completely wrong or if there's something that I shouldn't have written, I apologize! Thanks & Regards, Mejo Jose http://linux.mejokj.com The place for Linux cds!

Hi All, I was planning to deploy an answering machine software in the office this week. Has anyone on the list done this before and would care to make any suggestions / recommendations on which is good / bad and why? Looking at the various packages available I was considering mgetty... I'm using Debian GNU/Linux. Regards Rishi

The crimping order for regular (straight) LAN cables is as follows :- 1.White of Orange 2.Orange 3.White Of Green 4.Blue 5.White Of Blue 6.Green 7.White Of Brown 8.Brown Both ends are crimped in the above format. In cross cables, 1&3 and 2&6 switch places in one end of the cable. So one end of the cross cable would be as above and the other end would be as folllows :- 1.White of Green (previously in 3rd pos) 2.Green (previously in 6th pos) 3.White Of Orange (previously in 1st pos) 4.Blue 5.White Of Blue 6.Orange (previously in 2nd pos) 7.White Of Brown 8.Brown cheerio veejay _________________________________________________________________ Oscar fever is on!
